I'm from Texas and an avid hog hunter. Traditionally bull dogs (pits, AB's, and Dogo crosses) are used as catch dogs. I recently used some staghounds and love the speed, but would like some extra muscle/bite hence questions about the cross......For a catch dog on tall boars a bulldog with long legs means that the dog can keep all 4 feet planted on the ground when the boar begins to throw his head back....Standard pit bulls become an earring and that is when they get cut. A stag/bull cross yields the taller dog which could mean a safer hunt for the dog.
